MANCHESTER UNITED will record their worst-ever Premier League finish, according to a supercomputer.
The Red Devils overcame a 1-0 deficit to beat Brentford 2-1 at the weekend despite a makeshift backline.
Rasmus Hojlund’s first goal of the season proved the winner to lift United above Brentford in the table.
However Erik ten Hag‘s side are still in the bottom half and they will struggle to end up much higher, according to a supercomputer run by CSDB.gg.
In fact, the supercomputer predicts United to finish below the Bees in tenth place, which would be their worst-ever finish.
Erik ten Hag already has that unwanted record after his side finished eighth last season, yet this time round he is tipped to win two fewer points.

The win over Brentford was just United’s third of the season and they are already six points off the top four.
The Champions League race may not end up as close as it sits currently, with Chelsea expected to finish seven points ahead of closest rivals Tottenham.
Liverpool are predicted to be in the title race and miss out by just a few points following Arne Slot’s impressive start to the season.
They will not be the only team left disappointed, with Arsenal’s title chances in tatters following defeat to Bournemouth, says the supercomputer.
